Hakeem Jeffries just finished his historic speech against Trump's big ugly bill. During it, he quoted the great John Lewis: "Never ever be afraid to make some noise and get into good trouble.". That's exactly what we're doing. Join us July 17th to fight back.

The rich keep getting richer while everyone gets screwed over. Keep this in mind while the House votes today to take away healthcare for working Americans to pay for MORE tax breaks for billionaires.

The Trump admin has frozen over $6 BILLION in funding for after-school and summer programs. So the President's priority is to keep low-income kids from getting after-school care and going to summer camp. Who the hell is this supposed to benefit????.

Do you want your electricity bill to go up?. Do you want kids to lose their school lunches?. Do you want to throw millions of Americans off health care?. The GOP budget bill will do all of that & more. The House must vote NO on this bill.

The House is considering Trump's deadly budget bill. Millions could lose health insurance and food assistance. Working Americans will struggle to survive. All so billionaires can get a tax break. It's not too late. Call your representative and tell them to vote NO.

The Federal Reserve has limited its capacity to address the risks climate change poses to the economy & financial system. The Fed is giving up on its independence & falling in line with the Trump admin's climate change denial. This anti-science lunacy is a threat to our future.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case challenging political parties' campaign spending limits. This would take the corruption of American politics from bad to worse. We hope the Court upholds the carefully drawn boundary between independent & coordinated campaign spending.

Joe Rogan sat down with Bernie Sanders to discuss climate change. Some of his takes missed the mark. Listen to our expert @David_Arkush correct @joerogan's misconceptions about climate change.

This is the type of grift you're supposed to expect from a washed up reality tv star. Not from the President of the United States. Oh wait.

BREAKING NEWS: Senate Republicans voted to pass Trump’s budget bill. This bill strips Americans of health care and food assistance, just to give the ultra-wealthy a huge tax handout. This is a devastating blow for working people.

HUGE WIN: The Senate voted to strike down Ted Cruz's dangerous AI provision. This provision has always been a massive giveaway to Big Tech & a threat to everyone else. This victory will mean more children, consumers, workers, and creators are protected from the dangers of AI.

Trump is bullying Canada to enrich his big tech allies. Trump threatened to end trade negotiations unless Canada dropped its 3% digital services tax on Big Tech – and now Canada has dropped the tax. This isn't diplomacy - it's weaponizing trade tools to line corporate pockets.

Senate Republicans are cutting millions of working American families off their healthcare to fund tax breaks for billionaires. There is no moral or political justification for this. @ChrisMurphyCT is right. The Senate must vote NO on this abomination of a budget.
